"Nuh-uh! You did! I'm going to tell!"
I blotted up the spill as best I could and ordered them to settle down. "I've got a test to take," I said. "I need to concentrate."
I stomped back into the kitchen with the soggy paper towels. I heard a quiet voice behind me. "Things are always getting broken since Mama left," one of the boys said.
Suddenly my exam didn't seem so important. "I'll fix you some more grape juice," I said. "Why don't you see what's on TV? Or we could play catch outside?"

The day flew by. When I wasn't cheering up the boys, I was comforting their cranky sister. Finally I could put it off no longer. I gave myself two hours and started my exam.
Right away the phone rang with a message for Professor Gain. Then a salesman appeared at the door. I'd barely sat back down when the phone rang again. The baby started to cry.
Ringing phones, crying babies, doorbells...it all swirled around in my head blocking out anything about infections. Clostridium perfringens? I read off my exam when I got back to the kitchen table. I tried to answer an easier question, pressed too hard and snapped the point off my pencil. Great, I thought.
I could see my A average slipping away. All that studying for nothing. It wasn't fair! The other students were being tested in a quiet classroom.
I marched into Professor Gain's office in search of another pencil. I spotted one on the desk, right next to...
The class textbook. Everything I needed to ace my test was right there. Clostridium perfringens? The textbook could tell me what it was.
I stepped closer to the book, then looked quickly over my shoulder. I was sure I'd felt someone come in the room. But there was no one there. Nobody was watching. Nobody would know if I took just a peek.
I turned back to the textbook and stared. Spread out over the cover I was sure I could see the outline of a bright, glistening hand. The hand pressed the book shut so I couldn't open it and a voice seemed to speak to my heart, "You must take this test on your own, Roberta."

Shaken, I went back to the kitchen. I finished the test as best I could on my own. That evening I called Professor Gain for the results. "You missed an A by two points, but you'll get a B-plus for the course," he said.
I banged my fist against my knee. Darn that clostridium perfringens! "It's not fair!" I said. "I couldn't think straight! And there was a textbook in the next room. I could have cheated!"
My hand flew to my mouth. Had I just told my professor I was thinking of cheating? Professor Gain took a while to reply.
"Of course you could have cheated," he said. "But you didn't, Roberta. That's called integrity."
Forty years later, I never think about that B-plus. But I went on to specialize in infection prevention, teaching hospital staff the importance of washing their hands—even when no one is watching to make sure they do it.
Professor Gain said it was integrity that kept me from cheating that day. But I know I have an angel to thank too.

What parents need to know about Minecraft
ATLANTA -- Minecraft is one of the most popular video games for kids, who use digital blocks to explore their creative side.
But it can be confusing for parents and grandparents, especially since some younger children end up with nightmares after playing the game.
"You can kill creepers and zombies and they can kill you back," said sixth-grader Dakota Lawrence.
"The next minute, there could be something there and it freaks you out, whether it's a spider or a creeper or a skeleton," added classmate Piper Jones
"With creepers, if you actually get too close, they hiss and then explode." said sixth-grader Jessica Wilson
Lawrence, Jones and Wilson are students at Otwell Middle School in Forsyth County.

Hey guys, I was wondering if any of you can help me with some suggestions. I have a S&W 686-1 that i got when my father died. He never cleaned it. When i got the gun i cleaned the crap out of the inside and used some nice gun oil. It doesnt miss a beat. But the finish on the Stainless steel frame looks really dull and run down. I tried to use some chrome and mag polish but that diddnt help.
This is a picture of it now.... and below it is what I want it to look like, or as close to it as possible. I am going to be getting some nice rosewood grips for it and will make this gun into something my father would have been proud of. I know im probubly going to need a dremel and a posihing tool for it, But what products have been proven to work.
And this is what i want it to look like!

Emotional Intelligence: Not Just For Relationships
By Maud Purcell
With Your Employees:
- Be clear about your expectations and manage to them: One of the biggest mistakes I see in the businesses with which I consult is that employees don't truly understand what's expected of them.
- Look for opportunities to pat your employees on the back: By doing this, you will encourage more of what you want from your employees and therefore significantly impact the bottom line. 4 Ways Employers Could Help Our Relationships
- No pain, No gain: Without consistent consequences for sub-par performance, employees are less likely to meet your expectations.
- Treat your staff with respect: Although it's your job to let them know when they are not working up to standard, criticism should always be offered constructively. Labeling the employee as incompetent, selfish, lazy or with any other pejorative will only encourage them to give you the same in return. Life Coach: Can A Woman Be Both Powerful And Feminine?
- Be empathetic: It's important that your employees believe that you care about them beyond your business relationship. If they truly believe this, they will go the extra mile for you and your organization.
The real challenge is maintaining a balance between attending to the feelings of both clients and employees, while effectively operating your business. Although there's no perfect formula for doing this, you'll only stand to gain by making emotional intelligence a priority in 2012.

Edward Hagerty
Ed Hagerty was 19 when his World War II ship sank off the Philippine Islands in the Battle of Samar. For two days he could only swim and pray, with no food or fresh water, as sharks were eating sailors in the water around him.
On the second night, searchers plucked Hagerty and others from the dark sea, ending an ordeal that became a "defining moment," in a life anchored by faith and patriotism.
Aided by Margaret, his wife of 54 years, Hagerty advocated for veterans until his death on May 22 at age 88.
The couple also raised six children and worked together to raise money for veterans' memorials.
"He would always want to honor anyone who served our country; he was such a patriot," said his daughter Bridget Hagerty.
His family said one of Hagerty's most glorious moments was in San Diego a few years ago with the unveiling of the "National Salute to Bob Hope and the Military." Five life-size bronze statues of Hope stand on points of a granite five-star platform. They are surrounded by 15 statues of soldiers and sailors, representing the millions in the military who enjoyed Hope's morale-boosting entertainment.
Years, before, Hagerty and two other vets founded the Taffy III Association after their Naval designation. They first helped create the monument for the Battle of Leyte Gulf, honoring sunken ships and lost lives, and the Hagertys worked for 28 years to raise money for a number of other memorials.
"All these guys did it because they were such patriots, and they spent 48 hours in the water with sharks eating the guys next to them," said Bridget Hagerty."Their patriotism brought them to the Bob Hope thing. It was a tribute to what Bob Hope did for all the troops."
Born in Mankato in 1925, Hagerty grew up in Red Wing and studied for priesthood at Nazareth Hall preparatory school in St. Paul. But after graduating in 1943, he joined the Navy and headed to Saipan and the Philippines.
In the huge Battle of Leyte Gulf in 1944, the U.S.S. Gambier was ambushed by Japan's fleet of battleships and cruisers. Hit by shellfire, the carrier burned and sank, spewing 1,100 men into the water for 60 miles in Leyte Gulf, an ordeal that son John Hagerty said his father didn't talk about.
Hagerty earned his law degree from Notre Dame and was a founding partner in Hagerty & Candell law firm, practicing for 49 years. He was a national speaker for the American College of Trust and Estate Counsel and belonged to other groups. He also belonged to Our Lady of Grace Catholic Church in Edina for 47 years.
He was happiest, however, driving down the road before the sun rose, his family of eight inside his brown-and-tan station wagon, on their way to California, Annapolis or some other destination. Sometimes they would rise at 2:30 a.m. to head to the South Dakota border for duck hunting or north to Lutsen or Spirit Mountain, even when the thermometer showed 20 degrees below.
"Daylight in the swamps!" he would yell, Bridget Hagerty recalled. "That means you get your ass out of bed right this second and you get in the car with your ski boots on."
"We were a unit," she said. "And my siblings are still my best friends."
Hagerty is survived by his wife, Margaret; children Bridget Hagerty of Rhinelander, Wis.; John Hagerty of Richmond, Va.; Ann Hagerty Hicks of Eden Prairie; Catherine Kirchner of Edina; Nora Hagerty of Park City, Utah; Michael Hagerty of Plymouth, and 11 grandchildren.
Services have been held.

September 7, 2004
Incumbent Kris Mayes, a former close aide to Democratic Gov. Janet Napolitano, appeared headed for victory over challenger Carl Seel in the Republican primary for a two-year seat on the Arizona Corporation Commission Tuesday night.
With most of the precincts reporting, Mayes had more than 60 percent of the votes.
The winner of the GOP primary is virtually assured of election in November to fill out the last two years of the unexpired term of former commissioner Jim Irvin, who resigned last September under an ethical cloud.
No Democrats are running for the seat, but two Libertarians, Rick Fowlkes of Mesa and Zelig Hess of Glendale, declared as write-in candidates in hopes of winning enough votes to qualify for the November general election ballot.
Write-in votes must be counted by hand, and final results may take five days to determine, according to the Arizona Secretary of State's office.
Mayes, 32, a former newspaper reporter who was Napolitano's press aide, was appointed by the governor to the regulatory commission after Irvin resigned. Under state election law, Mayes was required to run for the office to fill out Irvin's term.
During the campaign, Seel, 35, and Mayes squared off over numerous issues including the use of solar power, nuclear energy, electric deregulation and even abortion.
Three other commission seats, each carrying four-year terms, are also up for grabs, but none were contested in Tuesday's primary.
Mayes said she was not surprised by her primary showing. "I worked hard for 11 months to prove to Republican voters that I was someone they could support," she said. "I think it's a reflection that voters believe they have a really good commission."
Seel could not be reached for comment by the Tribune's deadline.

Marton Strohner's HERENDESIGN redesigned tea set reminds me of the perforated leather found in fine automobiles and super-soft driving gloves, or the rubber grips on vintage golf clubs. Either way, the collection exudes luxury from top to bottom.
Marton Strohner's HERENDESIGN collection was created for Herend Porcelain Manufacture as a diploma project. If I were grading it, I'd say the coffee/tea set passes with flying colors.

Selling UST 10yr – Buying TBT Ahead of FOMC Mins

I was asked by Fidelity to give a presentation to their clients ahead of the Trader Expo in NYC. In the presentation I gave my views on the EM selloff and a number of key sub-topics within the asset class. Here I will present my slides on China.
Look at the EEM ETF tracking the MSCI EM Index and we can see that the panic of Monday ushered in a bounce that has taken the EEM from a kiss of $37.00 back to $38.50 (+3.7%).
China Internet Index (EMCHI) off another -4% today with the escalation of risk in markets and still no resolution on the accounting issues that are front and center.
Yesterday, on CNBC's Street Signs, the focus was on the "MINT" economies: Mexico, Indonesia, Nigeria, and Turkey, as they are coined, or "MINTs".
LONG the US Dollar was a trade that for much of 2013 was a consensus view, but to many this trade failed despite the backdrop of a stronger US economy and the Fed in the wings to taper.

Trudi, a good place to read first is the link below and Ken is based on your own, as it were, Long Island. And even better link I can't put here b'c it's from another site and Ben Quisenberry's grandson showed up and shared with us stories of his grandfather as well as speaking to the issues of Stump of the World, vs Big Ben, etc. But there was no mention at all of a Big Ben 1 and Big Ben 2, just confusion with Stump of the World and Big Ben and Bradywine itself. Hope that helps at least patially. Carolyn |
Here is a link that might be useful: Ken Ettlinger and Bradywines
Someone at another site gave me the info from an SSE catalogue on the two listings so I'm good to go. If they pass their germination tests I'll be able to offer them soon. Yep, Ken's an Islander too, though he's quite east of me. LI has an amazing agricultural history, it's still growing strong after nearly 400 years ;-) |

Trudi, I did read at the other site the information you were given and also added to that to say , well, you can read what I said and the additional link I gave. All to say, and I said it there that I wouldn't assume those two SSE listings by SSE itself are correct as indicating two different Big Bens. Just my opinion knowing the time line on those and who was there at the time. Carolyn |
At yet an even different site there is a very long discussion about Thing 1 and Thing 2 and you can read what I wrote there, lol. OMG, so many discussions at so many sites about two tomatoes with so many intertwined stories. Oh well. I do actually think such things are good as they create interest about interesting good tomatoes. Thank you for your input, I appreciate it very much. T |

Just a few days ago I was drinking beer with some car guys and trying to explain exactly how a car like the Porsche Boxster can be so much more fun to drive than more powerful vehicles that aren't as well balanced. We touched on this idea last year with our story about the Joy of Slow and the delight that "slow" cars bring to drivers who appreciate handling, balance, and finesse more than outright speed and power.
The Audi R8 5.2 is the perfect example of this. For most people, the "base" R8 4.2 is a 10 out of 10 in terms of looks, performance, and, to some extent, practicality. Adding the extra pair of cylinders amps the R8 to the proverbial 11. Yes, it's faster, has a more unique sound, and makes the car more exclusive, but I don't think the 5.2 is nearly as much fun (at least on public roads).
Equipped with winter tires, the V-8 R8 is just a bit more predictable and reassuring than the V-10 R8. There's so much power on tap with the V-10 that it's easy to overpower the tires and you end up having to drive very carefully. With the V-8 you don't ever feel the car is underpowered but the better balance of power and grip makes the drive much more enjoyable when the weather turns foul.
Of course the average R8 5.2 buyer is probably living in a gorgeous climate year round and not concerned with the behavior of the car on snow tires. And this person is pretty likely to have traded in a Ferrari or Lamborghini to get the R8 instead of moving up from a 911. To them, the exclusivity of a V-10 is all that matters.
